The Washington State Legislature has been funding evidence-based programs in the Washington State juvenile courts since 1999. In 2009, the Legislature directed the Institute to “conduct an analysis of the costs per participant of evidence-based programs by the juvenile courts.” This report provides estimated costs per participant for these evidence-based programs:

Aggression Replacement Training (ART)

Coordination of Services (COS)

Functional Family Therapy (FFT)

Family Integrated Transitions (FIT)

Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST)

The statewide average costs can be used to estimate the number of youth who can be served by these programs for a given amount of funding.
